I'm Gary Aurelie.

0:04.1

Shut nice.

0:05.1

And this is playing with science.

0:07.0

This is part two of our look at the Fast and Furious world at Rice Hockey, part one.

0:22.2

We'll eat up the net with the science of the shot and stick engineering.

0:25.8

And today we punch through even deeper into the science of the fastest and toughest sport

0:31.3

there is.

0:32.3

And helping us with the slippery subject of physics on ice will welcome back physics

0:36.9

professor Alan Hascheh, who's also the author of Slap Shot Science and the physics of hockey.

0:43.1

Alan is going to help us understand just how much force it's going to take to flatten

0:47.7

your opponent against those boards.

0:50.3

And it's not going to want to know that.

0:54.1

Okay.

0:55.1

You, me, we're even going to throw in the science behind the ice itself.

1:00.8

Yeah.

1:01.8

No extra charge.

1:02.8

There you go.

1:03.8

Lucky you.

1:04.8

Once we've done that, we'll be chatting once again with our good friend and VP of

1:07.6

product at Bauer Hockey, Craig DeGiole, then only this time we're going to focus on

1:13.6

the tech in the skates themselves.

1:15.8

Yeah.
